This has been especially true in China and other Asian countries during the past several decades of economic expansion in that region of the world (Bai et al. 2008). Government stakeholders in many of these countries have benefited along with corporations in obscure and outright false financial statements and analyses as they have attracted money form foreign as well as domestic investors an enabled national growth for many Asian nations (Bai et al. 2008). These investors, on the other hand, as well as many private citizens in these countries, have suffered avoidable losses and unnecessary economic disruptions when the misleading reporting and analysis practices are brought to light and the truth is revealed (Bai et al. 2008).
In the United States, the problem is possibly even more complex. More stringent government oversight supposedly limits issues of outright deception, but questionable and obfuscating techniques are still rampant in financial analysis in this country (Gauthier 2004). Many of the government regulatory offices and legislation also have very little real power in appropriating documentation of statements made on financial reports or supporting/outlining methods used by various firms and analysts in their analyses (Gauthier 2004).

Different stakeholders and organizations are affected differently by financial analyses practices, and might view them differently. Major corporations might feel that anything completely clear and understandable will necessarily be a misrepresentation of a their financial strength, and given the complexities of the market there is some truth to this. Yet when invalid conclusions are drawn based on spurious information and unfathomable analysis techniques, clarity can only be seen as a virtue. It would certainly have helped to mitigate or possibly prevent the current economic situation, as well.

Because the home country is not required to reimburse foreign depositors for losses, there is no corresponding financial penalty for lax supervision; there is, though, a benefit to the country with lenient regulatory policies because of increased revenues generated and the employment opportunities these services provide (Edwards 1999). Furthermore, banks seeking to conduct multinational business are attracted to countries where incorporation laws and the regulatory framework offer less regulatory oversight
